. On the other hand, behold our own

Scarcely a week passes in which the
dangling moose is not seen to hug a

rest content here. Progress has ever
been the watchword of our civilization.
Every city, town and village in the
land has its fire department; let each
add a hanging department. to be pre-

arise in the near future. Party strife
will never cease until the majority shall
have been invested with the right of

glorious day arrived. nothing will re.

perfect.
We feel the deepest gratitude toward
the daily press of our country for its
insisting on the execution of the law to
the very letter. 1t was principally due
to the attitude of the daily press that
Gov. Oglesby could develop into that
type of noblest manhood which rele-

vision should loom up to teach him
how men can face death, he will be

purity, the decency of our daily press.

remarks concerning the American
press:
.'When any man, of any grade of
desert in intellect or character, can
climb to any public distinction, no mat.
ter what, in America, without first
grovelliug down upon the earth, and
bending the knee before this monster Of
depravity when any private excellence
is safe from its attacks; when any social
confidence is left unbroken by it, or
any tie of social decency and honor is
held in the least regard; when any man
in that free country has freedom OF
opinion, and presumes to think for
himself, and speak for himself, without
humble reference to a censorship which,
for its rampant ignorance and base dis
/ honesty, he utterly loathes and despises
in his heart; when these who most
acutely feel it's infamy and the reproach
it casts upon the nation. and who most
denounce it to each other, dare to set
their heels upon, and crush 1t openly,
in the sight of all men: then I will be-
lieve that its influence is lessening, and
men are returning to their manly sens

Land Commissioner Sparks had to
resign ostensibly because he was to free
in Offering advice to secretary Lamar.
It astonishes us that his resignation was
not demanded sooner. because he has
been very persistent in telling the secre-
tary how the land department should
be operated. The real reason seems to
be that Sparks desired to run the Office
honestly and had to tread on some pow
erful peoples toes in order to accomp-
lish what he wanted. #

For town costumes and reception
toilets large pinked-out ruches have
once more come into fashion. A very
elegant half-mourning toilet is made
thus: A skirt of iron-gray glace silk is
edged round the foot with very thick
pinked-out ruche. A second skirt of
wooden crepon of lighter shade of
gray is gracefully draped over it. On
one side double row of bows of gray
ribbon formed sort of ladder pattern.
A tight-ftting bodice of crepon, opened
straight down the front over q
chemisette of heliotrope foulard. A
narrow ruche trimmed the fronts of the
bodice; the turned-up collar and the
sleeve-faeings were of gray velvet.
Three bars of velvet crossed over the
chemisette, and were fastened with
small bows of ribbon, in the middle of
which there was small steel buckle;
similar buckles on the collar and sleeve.
